At Walgreens guy claims that he delivered one candy bar to a customer once. Said he got 4 dollar tip on top of cost or the candy bar. I think that’s crazy and got to be exaggerated. I mean who so lazy they order a single candy bar through Doordash?

    I’ve dealt with mental health issues my entire life. Crippling depression and anxiety means somedays I physically cannot even get out of bed, let alone leave the house and walk to the shops where there are a bunch of people.

    I’ve used uber eats like this before. I wouldn’t consider myself lazy, just somedays I’m not ok and physically cannot face the supermarket. It’s not a good feeling to do this, it’s not laziness, it’s a last resort.

    Be thankful you’re not in a position like this, and maybe try to see it from another perspective

      That’s what I was thinking… Plus any physical ailments and you might just want to have the help or even the treat.

      I don’t know what Formula is but I immediately thought of baby formula and I could easily see someone with a newborn doing that.

        Thanks, hope I didn’t come off as rude. Just that there are reasons some people might appear to be lazy when in reality they’re battling demons

        There is so much toxicity in this it’s hard to know where to start

        First of all, all disabilities are a spectrum, they effect people with different severities. One person might be ‘functional’ with depression, another literally not.

        Some people with chronic pain, physical vulnerabilities and weaknesses etc can still work, other are bedbound.

        Do you think that bedbound disabled people just ‘laze around’ all day?

        Are you really so goddamn privileged and dense that you think disabilities are 'all in [people’s] head? Or is it just mental disabilities?

        Or are you like, doing the 1950s thing of ‘depression isn’t real just cheer up’?

        And this excess wealth bullshit? Are you advocating for a system that leaves people to starve if they can’t work? Is disability welfare a bad thing to you?

        Never mind that there’s a huge issue with disabled people having higher expenses because of relying on deliveries etc. Fuck them, right?

        You’ve basically replied to a bedbound disabled person to tell them that theyre just a lazy privileged rich slob who’s making it all up, and I think that’s fucked

        Idk what you’re on about. Why do you think I have excess wealth? I grew up homeless and have worked hard for everything I have. I hold down a job, the times Im suffering so badly I can’t get out of bed are few and far between but they do happen. And in those low desperate moment sometimes I’ll order uber eats, fuck me right?

        You’re right the vast majority of people with depression still have to go to work, and that includes me.

        Depression is a mental disorder, of course it’s in my head. Do you think depression occurs in the lungs??
